I have entitled this blog The Death of Jeffery because that's what it feels like...... here's how it all started.
We have been noticing for about 8 weeks that Chloey's eyes had started breaking out. They would get red and puffy and just look terrible. After seeing 4 Doctors we decided it's time to see an Allergy Dr. She was tested for all kinds of crazy allergies. We were really worried that our other "child" Baxter was fixing to get the boot because she had pet allergies. We waited patiently for the results and we found out she is allergic to Pine Trees & Latex. Pine Trees didn't concern me as much as the Latex. The nurse recommend we get rid of all of her toys that could have Latex in them. We then made the shocking discovery that her FAVORITE toy "Jeffery the Giraffe" was PURE latex...... Chloey's allergic reaction all along was to Jeffery! Jeffery has been a very good member of the Cruse family for a few months. Jeffery would entertain Chloey for hours... we took Jeffery everywhere. Yes, I know she is really not old enough to have formed this crazy attachment to him but I had. He was her first toy that she actually would spend time playing with. I'm devasted at having to get rid of Jeffery. I went home that night and broke the news to her that Jeffery was causing all of her problems. I'm not ready to get rid of Jeffery completley even though Baxter told me he would welcome a new chewy toy. I placed Jeffery in the top of Chloey's closet where I'm sure many of her other toys will end up. I just hope Jeffery doesn't lose his squeaker and think we don't love him anymore and star in Toy Story 4!
